I even tried setting the shock length and then measure droop so I could make sure my droop was consistent as I made setup changes. I guess shock length is easier to measure, but if I make a setup change on shock positions, I have no idea what shock length needs to be to retain the same droop. Oh well, glad we can help.
I agree, which is why I measure mine as another ride height.
That being said, your scenario of changing shock positions won't actually change droop, as the droop screws do that, so you're already at the same correct position once you put the shocks back on. They are different length that you can measure, but the droop of the arm is still the same.
